The First Draft of My Murder Mystery Podcast Starred A Wife-Killing Russian Mortician

Interior.

Stiff's Funeral Parlor.

Basement Morgue.

Night.

That is a hell of a scene heading.

It goes almost across the whole page.

I love that it's called Stiff's as well.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, Stiff's Funeral Parlor.

Buzz from an overhead light.

A wall clock paces out the seconds of the scene with loud notches.

The morgue is pristine despite being run down and old.

An old Russian man, Victor Spader, 70s, puts down some metal tools.

First of all, commenting on that, how did I imagine showcasing a morgue that is pristine while

being run down and old in audio? Yes.

Yeah, just in audio form, like have that little shine.

You can make a

place sound dirty, can't you? You can give it some grind.

You can definitely make

a place sound dirty, but I don't know if you can do the opposite.

Maybe just making the voices more like crisp or something that would imply that it's clean.

That's true.

Yeah, it might sound a little sterile, right? Like if it's a large space, just clean.

Good idea.

This is why you're the audio drama genius.
